How Cheap Are You?

Think you are doing everything you can to be as “cheap” as possible? Check out the following two websites to see how you measure up.

America’s Cheapest Family features extensive Reader Tips, and a well written blog. Their bio states, “Steve and Annette Economides (Econo mee dis) have raised five kids, paid off their first home in 9 years on an average income of just $35,000, pay cash for their cars and don’t use a credit card . . . ever. The have cashed in on the American dream in a very un-American way — with no debt.”

The Ultimate Cheapskate offers his Cheap Talk blog and Spend Less articles. The bio from his site reads, “JEFF YEAGER spent 24 years working as a CEO and senior executive with national nonprofit organizations in Washington, DC before launching his career as a freelance writer, public speaker, and broadcast journalist in 2004.”

Both sites are focused on selling their products (just trying to make a buck like the rest of us) but also offer plenty of good frugal, sorry, cheap! tips for free.
